...conversation? One of the dictionary says:
A magistrate is a judicial officer; in ancient Rome, the word magistratus denoted
one of the highest government officers with judicial and executive powers. Today,
in common law systems, a magistrate has limited law enforcement and
administration authority. In civil law systems, a magistrate might be a judge
in a superior court; the magistrate's court might have jurisdiction over civil
cases and criminal cases. A related, but not always equivalent, term is Chief
Magistrate, which can (historically) denote political and administrative officers.
So, how is it different from "judge" in an easy way explanation???
Thanks for your help in advance !!!
